Background: Klobuchar received her Juris Doctor degree from University of Chicago Law School in 1985. After leaving school, she worked primarily as a partner at Dorsey & Whitney and Gray Plant Moody. Her first foray into politics was an appearance before the Minnesota State Legislature advocating for a bill that would allow mothers to stay in the hospital after giving birth for 48 hours rather than the then-standard 24 hours. This bill was passed by the state and was eventually made federal law by then-President Clinton.

Klobuchar is currently serving a third term as the Minnesota state senator following the election in 2018.

Immigration: One of the 20 senators to sponsor the Dreamer Confidentiality Act in January of this year. This bill would ban the DHS from passing information collected on DACA recipients to ICE, CBP, the Department of Justice or any other law enforcement agency.
